    Ends 20.5 x 32.5mm

    Thanks for viewing

  4. Hi guys and thanks for the good wishes, support and interest. The place is currently upside down with everything just placed inside and the car has to stay outside until relocation is complete, The design of the work areas have to fit in with the car being inside also, So I had drawn around the car to see what actual space was available allowing for walking around. Fitting around a stair case also had to be considered which leads to the railway. It’s amazing how much junk you find when moving. Thanks to all. TDR

  5. Hi all and a warm welcome to the work shop. Over the next few weeks I will be relocating all thats required, benches and work stations, spraying booth, shelves, tools etc, its the ground floor of my garage complete with electricity, house phone link and wifi. I have a space of 16ft by 22ft to operate in, my old place as some members have seen was a 8ft x 6ft shed. I hope to scratch build various wagons and other items that may be of interest to some forum members. First on the bench will be the curtian sided cement van, constructing a rake of at least 16. Thats the introduction over, watch this space for updates. TDR

  6. A really good day at 1st Bangor's exhibition. Well-done to all the team for their hard work. Kirley, your company was very much appreciated, thank you. Nelson's project sounds exciting but will have to wait, I'm sure he'll disclose its content in his own time. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get a moment.:-bd
